While radio waves may vary in length from one metre to many kilometres, microwaves are very short (less than 12.5 centimetres). Microwaves do not make any heat themselves but only cause water molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces heat that cooks the food. This is why your food will come out of the microwave piping hot, when your utensils inside the oven stay much cooler. The microwaves do not stay in the air or in the food when you open the microwave oven door. The microwave oven will work using an ordinary household electrical socket. Inside the microwave oven is the magnetron, which turns the electrical energy into microwaves. Microwaves cannot go through metal, so the inside of the oven is lined with metal. The door is lined with a fine metal mesh which stops microwaves getting through. This means that when the microwave oven door is shut, there is no possibility that microwaves can be released. Microwaves pass through the glass turntable and then bounce off the metal floor, back through the turntable, and are absorbed by the food. Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer cooked areas just like regular cooking. For this reason food should stand for a while after cooking. Before you use your microwave oven 1 Remove all the packaging. Do not remove the small piece of card from the right hand side of the cavity wall. This is called a waveguide cover and allows the microwaves to pass through to cook the food. 2 Check the oven after unpacking for any visual damage such as: ➢ a misaligned door ➢ damage to the door ➢ dents or holes in the door window and screen ➢ dents in the inside ➢ If you can see any damage do not use the oven This microwave oven weighs approximately 12.5kg so you must put it on a horizontal surface that is strong enough to support this weight. The oven must be placed away from high temperatures and steam. Do not put anything on the top of the microwave oven. Only use the accessories supplied by the manufacturer. 1 Safety instructions Warning: to reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury or exposure to excessive microwave energy: ➢ Use this microwave oven for only its intended use as described in this instruction manual. ➢ ➢ Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Do not block the air vents, this can damage the microwave oven and cause poor cooking results. ➢ Never put any objects into the openings on the outer case. ➢ Never remove parts from the oven such as the feet, screws and so on. ➢ Do not try to deep-fry foods in this oven. ➢ None-microwavable cookware is not suitable and can be hazardous. ➢ When heating or cooking food or liquid, remember that there are certain foods (such as Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat) which heat up very quickly. ➢ When heating or cooking foods that contain a lot of fat or sugar, do not use plastic containers. ➢ Do not cook food directly on the turntable. Put food on a suitable plate or in a bowl before putting it in the oven. ➢ Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. ➢ Do not use the microwave oven near waterfor example, near a sink and the like. ➢ Do not immerse the power cord in water. ➢ Do not allow the power cord to hang over the table or surface. ➢ If the power cord needs replacing, it must be replaced with a cord of the same type by a qualified technician. ➢ Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. ➢ Do not over cook food, this can result in fire. ➢ Some products such as whole eggs in their shell and sealed containers, for example, closed glass jars, may explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven. ➢ Do not place any objects or allow cleaning residue to come between the oven face and the door seals. 2 ➢ This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. ➢ Children should be supervised to make sure that they do not play with the appliance. ➢ Never leave the microwave oven unattended while in use. ➢ Warning: it is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy. ➢ Warning: if the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person. The door seals are located around the window on the inside of the door. These seals are not airtight, although no microwaves can be released, it is normal for small amounts of air or steam to escape when the oven is in use. ➢ Warning: liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers as they are liable to explode. Safety instructions ➢ ➢ Do not store anything in the oven, such as papers, cookbooks and so on. Do not use the oven for any reason other than preparing food, such as for drying clothes, paper or any other nonfood items, or for sterilising purposes. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food, so please be careful when removing it from the oven. Please remember that the food or liquid inside will be releasing some steam or will be spitting. Never cover any container fully, always leave a gap for steam to escape. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. You may need oven gloves to handle the utensil. You should use microwave utensils only in line with these instructions. ➢ The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. Always remove the teat from feeding bottles if they need to be reheated. ➢ Always test the temperature of cooked food, never eat or drink food or liquid straight from the oven, allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir to distribute the heat evenly. ➢ Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, ready meals and so on without piercing them several times with a fork. ➢ Food containing a mixture of fat and water (for example, stock) should stand for 30 to 60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent it from bubbling when a spoon is placed in it, or a stock cube is added. 3 ➢ Do not use the oven when it is empty. This could damage the oven. If you want to practice the programming of the oven, put a container of water in the oven. ➢ Always have the glass turntable and turntable support in place when using the oven. ➢ Never lean on the microwave oven door or allow a child to swing on it, this could result in injury. ➢ Do not over cook potatoes. This could result in fire. At the end of the cooking time potatoes should be slightly firm because they will continue to cook during the standing time. Remove from the microwave oven, wrap in tin foil and leave to stand for 5 minutes. Microwave oven Installation 1 2 Select a level surface that provides enough space for the outlet vents. A minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.5cm) is required between the oven and any adjacent walls. One side must be open. Leave a minimum clearance of 12 inches (30cm) above the oven. 3 Place the oven as far away from radios and TV's as possible. Using the oven may cause interference with the reception. 4 Open the oven door and take out the accessories, clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth. Place the turntable support and the turntable in the cavity. 5 Plug the oven into a suitable 13Amp mains socket, make sure the voltage is the same as on the rating label (do not use extension cables or mains socket adaptors).

Please look at the weights on packaging, if the food is between weights, please make sure the food is cooked thoroughly before eating. Never over cook food, this can result in fire. The result of auto cooking depends on food factors such as shape and size, and your personal preference as to how you like your food cooked. How you place the food on the plate can also effect the end result. If you find the result not quite satisfactory, please adjust the cooking time accordingly. Note: When you are using auto menus '7 Chicken', '8 Beef' and '9 Skewered meat', two thirds through the cooking cycle 4 tones will sound. This is to remind you to turn the food over for even cooking. Once the food has been turned over, close the door and touch the 'Start' pad. Useful tips Standing time Food still continues to cook by conductive heat towards the center of the food after it has been removed from the microwave oven, or after the microwave oven has been turned off. This is called standing time. The standing time varies according to the volume and density of the food. To retain the heat, large items of foods such as poultry or meats should be wrapped in tin foil during the standing time for 10-20 minutes. Stirring Stirring is useful because the food cooks from the outer edges inward. Therefore stirring from the outer edges to the The auto menus are featured at the top of the control center during cooking encourages even cooking. panel, there are nine auto menus available.
